Bray Head

#1 Post by col »

Does anybody know any spots on Bray head which are any good? Looking for a mark to suit anything really, wrasse/pollock, flatties etc, doesn't matter.

Just looking for somewhere different to fish other than the beaches or packed piers. At the moment I suppose somewhere I could spin from would be great. Preferabley locations on the Greystones side. :D :oops:

Haven't heard of people fishing here so any info would be welcome, even if its just to say its useless. :shock:

you can get pollock at any time of day as long as the tides in, there not too picky.

access is the problem there is a good cove on the greystones side but you need a boat to drop you and collect you (fine calm day only) the last bit of beach as you get to the head used to be good ( cod in winter) had a few good wrasse and pollack sessions there years ago but havnt fished it for yonks the boats are taking some codling off the head so it may be worth a shot there was a sand bank about 80 yards out that held all the fish worth a shot if you are feeling energetic :D
